Here’s another new to me author that I decided to try out with a prequel novella – this time with better results. I have already read the first full length book in the series (review pending) and intend to keep going. In 1887, Ted Harper is the owner of a major bank in New York City and one of the wealthiest men in the country. He is standing on a train platform when a young woman comes up, kisses him, and pretends to be his […]
Cursed Chattans
This review is for the second and third books in the Chattan Curse trilogy, The Scottish Witch and The Devil’s Heart. The first book in this series was a little too woo-woo with the curse bit, setting up the back story, and I think it got in the way of the rest of the story. The second and third don’t seem to have this problem, which makes them much more enjoyable. There are bits about the curse, but they are actively looking to do away […]

“Contains elections, confections, and a number of erections.”
3.5 stars Weeks ago, I finished Sweet Disorder, and this is why you cannot wait to review books, because I can’t honestly remember too many details about it. I am not going to make a snarky comment on the memorability of the book itself, even if that may apply, because the actual issue here is that I have garbage for brains and a singular talent for avoiding doing anything so productive as reviewing the books I inhale. Anyway. Goodreads says: “Nick Dymond enjoyed the rough-and-tumble […]
